The impact of competition between organisms of a population on population size can best be summarized by option:
**A. Some of the organisms will get the resources needed to survive.**
In a competitive environment, not all organisms can access the necessary resources (such as food, water, and shelter) to survive and reproduce. As a result, some will thrive while others may face starvation or other challenges, leading to a decrease in population size. Options B and C are less accurate because competition typically results in some individuals failing to survive rather than all surviving or resources being sufficiently abundant to support the entire population.
